Hi all,

I have a Howard Demon Rotavator. Today I was changing the oils in the two boxes. I noticed that the tines weren’t running smooth when being turned by hand. I dropped the oil and put in fresh oil and noticed that the rear rotor box had locked up.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what was the cause and can the rotor boxes be split?

Sounds like it has slipped into gear. Have you checked to see if this is the case?
